@jpinghels you are using a intel board although any graphics acard would do i would suggest going to nvidia for like a gtx 260 or 280 intel i think performs with nvida

ati radeon on the other hand i only match ati with ati or amd what ever if your gonna match go with nvidia it probally would suit your intel chip better

NO NO NO.

STOP spewing this crap. IT IS WRONG.

Even YOU admitted there was no evidence for it.

I was thinking the new GTX-460. Inexpensive, but a good gaming card from Nvidia.
It is faster than the GTX-465, runs cooler, and not a power hog.

Can i upgrade my graphics card?

Nividia GeForce FX 5200

@lordbob im not contradicting myself im just saying ultimatly he will get what he wants

but one thing i do notice more people on this forrum are using more radeon cards then nvida

That literally has NOTHING to do with whether or not an ATI card will work just as well with an Intel CPU as an AMD CPU.

From the HP website:

Choices:
Integrated graphics - ATI Radeon HD 4200 [VGA]
512MB ATI Radeon HD 5450 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
512MB NVIDIA GeForce 315 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
1GB ATI Radeon HD 5450 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]
1.5GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]

So it looks like you have a PCIe x16 port. You will need a video card with that.

No problem.

You should make sure your PSU is powerful enough as well.

my desktop is DDR RAM does that make a difference to the graphics card

the MoBo is very old!!

The motherboard RAM will not make a difference.

When you are looking for a video card, this is what needs to be compatible:
Slot Type (AGP, PCI, PCIe)
Power Supply (needs to have enough watts and amps)
Case size (some cards get big)

~Lordbob

Okay

My system Specs:

CPU AMD Athlon 2400 XP
does that make a difference?
